Nasty Plants

Ignorance can lead to a great deal of discomfort! So before anything can ruin your summer fun activities like camping, biking, hunting, nature trekking or any other outdoor events… be aware of the some nasty plants out there like poison-oak. No, these plants are not actually varieties of oak at all. Similarly, “poison-ivy” is not really an ivy. They are plants that produce an oil called urushiol, which is a skin irritant causing the majority of people who come into contact with it to experience an allergic reaction known as urushiol-induced contact dermatitis. This oil is very easily transferred by touch, and when it is absorbed by the skin it will cause the aforementioned itchy rash, and often painful blisters and burning sensations as well.
